Subject 19 let off a small sigh as she looked to Aimee "Another one of your pathetic friends I take it? Very well then....he too can have the honor of dying...." she spoke, almost sounding rather bored at the moment as she swung, her claws appearing in the process, aimed right at Kagetora.

Aimee however, used this chance to block Subject 19's attack and strike her across the face once more before striking her in the stomach.

As she was punched, Subject 19 only grinned to herself, using this chance to grab Aimee's arm and kick her in the stomach, launching her into Kagetora.

Kagetora caught Aimee, then gently sliding past her, flipped into the air, throwing a set of kunai knives at Subject 19.

"Pathetic?  Hardly."

Subject 19 takes on the knives as they impale in her chest, only for her to sigh and takes out each of the knives and drops them onto the ground, her wounds already starting to heal up.

Aimee glared slightly at Subject 19, stepping back a little but as she looked to Kagetora "We need a new plan...."

Kagetora nodded.
"Looks that way.  Got any suggestions?"
He said calmly...

Aimee of course, didn't expect for Subject 19 to heal up like that "Er....run?" she suggested.

Subject 19 just chuckled as she looked at the two of them, her claws flexing as well before she started to walk towards them.

Aimee looked back to Kagetora and stepped back a little bit "And no....I don't have a Plan C yet"

The worker bought the explanation. "Very well, Dr. Winters, please follow me to the machining room. You will be pleased with the quality of our machines," she said.

Dr. Bailey cleared his throat. "If your machines are not up to code, nothing you say will help your case. Now please take me to the machines," he ordered.

"Ah yes, so sorry sir." The worker then led Dr. Bailey over to the locker room.

--------------------

"I am indeed," Cpl. Stern replied. He kept his submachine gun at the ready as he followed Kiara to the server room.

--------------------

James and his group passed through the hallways. They encountered no guards or scientists.

"Guys, try this door," Alfred said, gesturing to a steel door with a placard that read "Room 451 - Cybernetics Lab".

Zachary tried the handle only to find that it was locked. "Okay, anyone have a key card?" he asked.

Alfred readied his shotgun. "We could try shooting out the lock," he said.

"Go for it," Dr. Zanasiu said.

Alfred donned a pair of mirrored safety glasses he had stolen as a disguise and readied his shotgun. "Everyone else, back away and keep your weapons ready!" he ordered.

(OOC: Kiara and Hailey are going to the prison cells, Shakila and Jayden are heading to the server room)

Soon enough, Shakila and Jayden had made it to the server room, with Shakila getting her laptop out of her bag and turning it on before plugging into the server.

The server room in general was actually rather big, well, it had to be to be able to help with Kain's experiments as well as the factory on top if need be.

"Okay...first thing's first, cameras....time to shut off the one in here...." Shakila muttered as she typed on her laptop and seconds later, was able to shut the camera off in the server room as she looked to Jayden "I should be alright now, trust me"

Jayden seemed to hessitate for a moment "You sure about that?"

Shakila gave off a nod back "Yeah, I mean, if anyone comes by, I'll just, well....hide"

Jayden gave a nod to Shakila and left the room, heading down one of the hallways in order to explore the area some more.

"Now....let's see what information I have available to me...." Shakila spoke to herself as she begun to type on the laptop again, exploring what files were on the server, coming across one in particular "Project Zeta?" she looked more deeply into the file to see what it was all about "Status....ready? That can't be good..."

However, she heard footsetps approaching, closing her laptop for the moment and moved out of sight as best she could as two reptiles entered the server room, taking a look around.  One in particular, turned and before he could do anything, he recieved a strike to the face by Shakila, using her own laptop as a weapon to which she swung again and knocked out the second guard with her laptop once again.

The two guard fell to the ground, either unconcious or dead, Shakila wasn't sure herself, nor did she bother to check either as she was already breathing a bit heavily from what she had just done.

Seconds later, she shook her head to snap out of it a little bit as she opened up her laptop, seeing that it was still working "Huh....sturdy....would hate to have to buy a new one...." she spoke as she went back to looking about Project Zeta in particular.

***

Kiara and Hailey continued to walk down the hallway with Stern "We shouldn't be too far now...." hailey begun as she heard music in the distance.

Kiara too, heard the music "That's....Beethoven....isn't it? Isn't it his, 5th symphony or something like that?"

Hailey nodded back "Well, 9th symphony actually, Trinity actually likes Beethoven...."

"Huh, who would've guessed.....a villain that likes classical music...." Kaira replied back with a slight chuckle as well.

Dr Landon held his weapon ready ' Fire now!' he said to Alfred.
- Aisha was exploring every inch of her cell, and feeling of isolation was creeping over her..

Stern shook his head. "The music taste of our opponents are not of our concern," he said.

----------------------

Alfred fired his shotgun and almost completely destroyed the lock. He delivered a mighty kick to the door, slamming it into the wall with a loud thud. He swept around the room with his weapon to his surprise, the room was nearly empty.

"Strange," Zachary said.

"Guys, fan out and see if there is anything useful like key cards or what not," Dr. Zanasiu said.

Alfred nodded and kept watch with Spc. Crota, Hans, Werner and Sgt. Masters.

Shakila was still looking through the different files available to herself from the server, however, she was still worried about what Project Zeta really was, yet, for the time being, she left it alone, finding not much of use within the files....well....save for a map of the area anyway "Now this could come in handy...."

***

Meanwhile, Trinity was now looking at something in particular, a creature that was completely metalic, showing no fur, no skin, nothing of the sort.  It was at the moment, deactivated as a reptile guard came up to her "Ma'am, we have a problem, we can't seem to reactivate the camera within the server room, and what's more, we're getting signs of someone actually hacking into our server"

Trinity just gave a nod back "Thank you" she told him as she was looking at the creature still, not even looking at the guard who was talking to her "Activate....Project Zeta"

"But ma'am, isn't it too dangerous to do so?" the reptile asked back.

"Just do it, trust me, I have it under control" Trinity replied back with a smirk as the reptile guard, reluctantly, headed off to the computer room an dtyped in a few commands.

The creature in front of Trinity was activated, its red eyes turning on as it looked at Trinity, stepping forward a couple of feet, now standing right in front of her.

Trinity looked up at it "Project Zeta..." she spoke with a chuckle.

The creature in question was actually rather large, as tall as some of the doors around as it just stared at Trinity.

"Go find our little hacker and give her something to fear" Trinity ordered rather calmly.

Seconds later, Project Zeta turned around and took off, its footsteps being felt as the ground shook some, rushing off on all fours in order to find and kill Shakila for starters.

***

Shakila was busy looking on her laptop when she noticed that the status of Project Zeta had changed from "Ready" to "Active" and with an added note "Kill the hacker?" was all she could say, her eyes widening, realizing what it meant and now frantically, begun to look through Project Zeta's file on how to stop the beast.

Shelton and Aydin followed Dr. Bailey and the worker. "Where can I find the main offices of this facility?" Shelton asked. "I need to speak to the person in charge."

After quiet some time, Shakila had found out more about Project Zeta, her facial expression changing to a tad more worried look as she bought up the map of the area once again, saving it this time before shutting off her laptop and disconnecting.  She had a small plan on where to go as she rushed out of the room and into the hallway.

However, that's when she saw it down the hallway in the distance, a hulking, metalic beast which was running her way.

Shakila was indeed, getting rather freaked out, moving back a little bit before turning and just running "That thing is huge..." she spoke to herself as she continued to run still, heading to a specific area of the facility.

***

Shakila had soon made it to her destination, the power room as she looked around frantically as she looked at what was available to her before the door was knocked off its hinges as Project Zeta rushed into the fairly big room as it looked to Shakila.

"Can't...we just talk about this?" was all Shakila could say with a little nervous laugh, to which Project Zeta swung an arm at her, only to miss as Shakila ducked, to which the creature got its claws lodged into the power console nearby in the process, starting to get electricuted as it roared in pain as well.

Shakila could see the electricity was harming it and took another look around, taking this chance to try and harm it some more.  She frantically pushed a few of the buttons that were available, not too sure on what they would do, yet, one in particular, turned up the power some more, perhaps too much as it begun to violently overload, shocking Project Zeta even more as it kept on roaring in immense pain.

Project Zeta's other hand, however, attempted to swing at Shakila some more, just barely missing her from where she was.  The claws in question were dangerously close to her chest, already ripping lightly at her shirt.

Shakila continued to stay back and the second Project Zeta swung it's claws at her, she ducked in time as its claws missed here while the feline crawled along the ground, already getting freaked out by what was not working so far, she was injuring it, but so far, not enough by the looks of it, which was causing Shakila to have to think on her feet on how to stop Project Zeta, now starting to regret sending Jayden off.

Although, she did recall one thing from what she was reading "Water....wait, water and electricity...." she looked up a little to see that this room had a sprinkler system of some sort and did her best to get out of Project Zeta's range before looking around at something to set off the sprinkler system.

She had found nothing, except for her own laptop, which she wasn't so sure of using, but shook her head and pulled it out of its bag and just tossed it to the best of her ability at one of the sprinklers.

It had hit it, causing the sprinkler system to activate in the process and dousing Project Zeta at the same time as it roared even more, a small explosion was hear, it had come from the creature.  The core of the creature had been too much over loaded from the electricity it was taking on before a second explosion followed, its whole chest had exploded as the water seemed to amplify the damage the electricty was doing to it.

Moments later, Project Zeta fell forward, it had actually been defeated, which had actually amazed Shakila herself "Batman, eat your heart out...." was all she had said in regards to it and cautiously approached the creature.

She crouched down and looked at it more closely as its eyes had shut off, as she just sat down on Project Zeta's head as the sprinklers countinued to pour down as she ignored the water for the time being, just to preoccupied with what she had just down, even ignoring the fact that her laptop was now busted having been thrown just before.

Dr. Bailey returned, dressed in the characteristic clean suit of electronics workers. He then followed the worker over to the machining room.

Another worker, a Ball Python, went up to Aydin and Shelton. "The administrative section is down that hallway," he said, pointing to a set of double doors opposite them.

----------------------

Alfred kicked in the door to the office. He found a Black Mamba coiled up on the chair. The snake in question was entering something in a computer.

"Where is the prison block!" Alfred demanded.

"Find it yourself!" the Black Mamba shot back, his hand creeping towards the panic button.

Alfred just noticed the panic button by the snake's right hand. He shot the scientist several times but not before he pressed the panic button.

"S---!" Alfred muttered. Panic had overtaken him. he stuck his head out of the office. "Guys, the scientist in here pressed the panic button. I'm going to try and disable it but get ready for a fight," he said

------------------

Spc. Crota and Sgt. Masters flattened themselves against the ground and took cover behind a lab bench. The others also took cover behind the lab benches as well.

Dr. Shelton and Aydin approached the double doors. Shelton raised his hand to knock.

<Dragonstorm inspectors don't knock> Aydin reminded him. <They strut in like they own the place.>

Shelton lowered his hand. <I'm glad I have you here,> he admitted, pushing the doors open and walking into the administrative offices. Crossing to Trinity's office, he walked in, followed by Aydin.

Meanwhile, Subject 19 had decided to leave Aimee and Kagetora alone and headed back to where Trinity was.

One guard approached Trinity "Uh ma'am, Project Zeta has been....disabled"

"Disabled?" Trinity let off a rather annoyed sounding sigh "Very well then...." she begun as Subject 19 had enetered moments later "Leave us" she told the guard whom did so, walking out of the rom to leave the two of them to talk.

Trinity arched an eyebrow at Subject 19 "So tell me, what's on your mind?"

However, Subject 19 did not reply back as she looked to the side with stacks of chemicals before looking back to Trinity and finally speaking to her "Why haven't you killed the others yet?"

"We're working on that as we speak, however, my last project was....destroyed..." Trinity explained to 19 in a nutshell.

"Another project? You made another project to replace me? What? You think that I have become....incompetant to do what you ask of me? Some, were, worthless tasks?" Subject 19 snapped back.

"That is not what it is, we simply created Project Zeta to take care of the small fry" Trinity explained back, only to hear Subject 19 give off a small sounding scoff.

"Sounds more like it was more of a replacement to me.....too bad your stupid little project of yours was incapable of doing what it was designed to do" Subject 19 looked back to the stack of chemicals, a syringe was on the table, one that had a form of liquid inside it "But I'm going to change that" she added on as she walked over to the table.

"19, you do not know what that will do" Trinity warned her.

Subject 19 however, didn't seem to care of the warning as she picked up the syringe "I'm going to actually do something that you lot weren't able to do...." she spoke as she looked at the syringe and gave off a sneer to Trinity in the process and started to walk off.

"19! Get back here this instant!" Trinity called out after her, but Subject 19 seemed to ignore her and continued to walk off still, she was now practically, dissobeying orders.

Subject 19 was heading back to the elevator to leave the facility, getting her own little plan together in her mind.

Shelton waited politely for Trinity to notice him.

<Be more intrusive,> Aydin told him. <You're from Dragonstorm; she works for you.>

Shelton cleared his throat loudly. "Excuse me?" he asked impatiently, crossing his arms. "I don't have all day."

(OOC: Er, how are they able to see Trinity when Trinity has been underground all along?  That's where everything happens, Trinity is down there where she released Project Zeta into the hallways....until it was taken down, although, now that I think of it, i do have a way on how they can communicate....like a video conference)

Trinity motioned for one of the guards to walk over "Assemble a team and go and subdue Subject 19 before she escapes" she told him as the screen in front of her turned on, showing Shelton and Aydin on the screen.

The guard gave off a nod and left Trinity be to go and assemble a team together.

Trinity looked to Aydin first, and then to Shelton before speaking "You're both with Dragonstorm? Very well then, however, might I ask what an unscheduled visit of yours consists of? Kain will not be pleased about this, so you best have a good enough excuse"

***

Subject 19 was indeed, near the elevator, heading out of the facility, when guards had approached her, ten of them at the very least and surrounded her, their guns aimed at her "That is far enough 19, Trinity doesn't want you leaving just yet"

However, Subject 19 gave off a scoff "She is blind to what is going on, she will not make the right moves in order to take everything to the next level, no....but I'm not, I'm going to change all that....without her help....."

The guards kept their guns aimed at Subject 19 still and watches as she threw the vial she was holding up into the air and before the knew it, she made her first move, rushing into one guard, snapping his neck before turning, her claws out as she swung, slicing three more guards across the stomach.

She then turned, sliced a gun barrel off and beheaded one of the guards, before turning and slicing another two guards, grabbing one of their gun and jamming the barrel of it through his forehead, killing him without pulling the trigger of said gun.

The last two guards weren't as lucky either as she grabbed both of their heads and slammed them together with incredible force, cracking their skulls in the process....and that was all before the vial had returned back down as Subject 19 held out a paw once retracting her claws as the vial fell into her paws.

She turned back to the elevator and stepped into it and rode it all the way up above the ground.

(OOC: Shelton spoke with aworkers above ground (played by Serris), who directed them to the administrative offices. So they went there.)

"In the past few days, you've bombed a hotel, massacred a hospital, gunned down a squadron of police officers, and turned a relatively simple kidnapping at Scutzhund into a major media-covered disaster," Shelton explained unflinchingly. "People are starting to notice, and you've placed Lab 101 in a very dangerous position. Dragonstorm wants to make sure you're still worth all the resources and time we've funneled into your facility."

(OOC: Ah okay, and I would imagine that in there, is where they would contact Trinity in private sort of thing)

"Does it matter what happens? I have gotten results, one way or another" Trinity replied back "We already have three of the hostages from the competition, to which Kain will be experimenting on....however, that will have to wait, we have problems to deal with at the moment, we have intruders in the facility, Project Zeta has been destroyed and Subject 19 has escaped, so you may tell Dragonstorm that they will get results in due time, when everything else has been sorted out here"

And that's when Trinity turned the screen off, practically disconnectiong before allowing Shelton to say a word back to her as she walked off to retrieve her guns, deciding to take things into her own hands now.

She turned and walked off after recieving her two pistols and decided to find Shakila first, the one who had taken care of Project Zeta.
